I like someone for almost a year now. I help her in the times that I could. I try to talk to her. I would ask how she has been. I even gave her flowers for valentines.

I think she knows that I have feelings for her. But I guess she saw through me long before and the relationship was more of awkwardness with tinges of lightness, so every onec and a while.

I do hope you get a picture of where I am.

Even though I would more or less know her response, I'm still debating if I would say my feelings explicitly...not just let the actions do the talking. They have been for a year. The only thing missing is that declaration.

But what purpose would it serve ? Would you think it would be better to just not say it ? Or would it matter if I said it still ?

Hmm, what's the purpose of saying it if I may ask ? You said you already know what her response might be.

There are some things that we cannot change. Loving someone has never been easy, especially when that someone doesn't reciprocate your feelings. Words are easy to say. Actions speak louder than words. But I guess the hardest part of loving is acceptance. Acceptance of who she is. Acceptance of the fact that she doesn't share your love.

I wish I could say some words of comfort in this time of solitude.

Maybe some things are better left unsaid.

^ yep baka lalong lumalala at maging "ilangan" na kayo.

on the other hand, i guess you never really know what she feels or what she thinks until you say it.
pwedeng pa-aloof effect lang or playing hard to get. i dont know the whole story. i dont claim to be an expert.
but hey, you have to say it or forever hold your piece. then all forms of regret beget.

As they say in M&A, an acquisition can’t move forward without a term sheet. That being said, you might want to ask her out on dates first before you propose. Otherwise, how will she know that you’ll make a suitable partner?

If she rejects your offer, don’t take it too seriously. And don’t worry about the “ilangan”; it happens. Move on to the next acquisition target. If you succeed with the next one, it might make you more attractive to her.
